I feel your frustration too, being a UK fan and struggling to find the few waves that have been released over here, let alone finding them online for decent prices. The most I paid was £14 for the first Spider-man figure which I bought on import in early 2009, a good 10 months before I saw them in regular shops. I still don't regret paying that much for him, despite being a peg warmer at one time I still love the guy. He was my first

I tend to get them in hand from Forbidden Planet in London, but they are £9.99. Sometimes they reduce to the price to £8.99 but still that's not great. My best finds recently have been Sainburys and the Entertainer stores. They both have been selling MU (Juggernaut Wave) and Iron Man figures at £4, so I managed to get the rest of the Juggernaut wave I needed and some IM2 Drones. I did get Xo:W Wolverine in his classic costume for .99P and IM2 Guardian for £4.99 in the London Forbidden Planet in their sale.

Other places I've seen them include Tesco, Asda, Debenhams, Toyz and Gamez in Norwich (they import the latest waves from America, although they price the latest figures at £12. They never did get the Thanos wave) and Toys R Us. Trouble is the figures are usually bashed up remnants of the Thor Wave and anything Prior.

It is frustrating though, especially since the collapse of Woolworths there are barely any High Street Toy shops and those that do stock toys don't even have MU. And when they do, they are ridiculously expensive and we have to wait for the sales. I still haven't found Comic packs or Galactus in UK stores, let alone anything after the Juggernaut wave.
